I have found a website which may help you choose your presidential candidate. It shows those running for the GOP, Democratic and independent primaries. A very helpful and simple to read page on every candidate shows what they believe, from topics like environment to principles and values. It makes it so much easier to decide whether or not the candidate is right for you. Although it is a quick overview and I recommend looking more into the candidate as some of the information may be outdated such as some sources are from the early 2000’s or 1990’s and they may not believe that anymore. But the site keeps the candidates updated with the most recent sources on the top of the list and goes down chronologically from what they said in the past on a certain topic. The site also tries to be unbiased so it won’t make one candidate more appealing than the other. I think the site is very helpful for those who haven’t decided which candidate to pick yet and is a great tool in beginning the search for one. It is the easiest and simplest site I've seen which provides information to do so. Again, I highly recommend this for looking at the quick overviews on the candidate's beliefs and as a starter for research on said candidate, they could have different opinions from something they have said years ago.
Thank you for sharing this comparison! I wonder how the site will adapt as people begin to change their platforms. I know that with Clinton in particular, being in the public eye for such an extended period of time leaves little wiggle room for opinions to change without seeming overly politically calculated. Will the site express past and present positions?
